It was out of order actually.logicallefty said:
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm a little surprised that De Angelo advocates chivalry, since it is seems so out of line with the whole manosphere idea of not buying drinks, not pedestalizing, negging, being an @sshole, etc. I've found that a lot of guys on the forum are chivalrous, which really surprised me since the whole "jerk game" thing is pushed so hard here.
Also, one of the biggest insults on the forum is to be called a "white knight". So again, it surprised me that guys would advocate chivalry when it is so closely tied to the knighthood's code of conduct, which they seemingly reject. Then there are the complaints that feminism wants the advantages of the patriarchy with none of the disadvantages. Chivalry seems to be giving that to them.
I'm not saying I am against chivalry. I hold doors open for people (not just women) out of respect. But I am surprised to find so many guys here practicing it when it seems so incongruent with the rest of the manosphere.
